Hiking trailhead parking lot. We spent the night there; practical and not far from the motorway exit, which can be heard a little but is not too bothersome. There is quite a lot of rubbish left by hikers who do not respect the site. We were two vans that evening.Translating
Very idyllic for one night, with good motorway access. From 8 a.m. onward it is busy with hikers and mountain bikers. However, it is so large that there is enough space for everyone. A perfect alternative to a rest area.Translating
We were only there briefly. During that time, three cars arrived with men who were obviously planning things we did not want to witness. Actually a beautiful place, but anyone who simply wants to spend the night should save themselves the detour.Translating
The place is good for taking a walk, but overnight stays are not allowed; the sign says it is only parking for hiking activities.Translating
Ideal for a lunch break.Translating
Dont sleep there! Its true about strange cars. It looks like a place of illegal bussiness, you know what i mean… there were two cars and the persons inside got off the car and when they saw us they got in and then got off when another car come. And another nice come in the middle of the night. Lonely Man with local registration sitting in the car in the middle of the night. You know.
The parking lot is good. I stayed there for two nights without problems. In the morning, you are undisturbed until about 8 a.m.; then the first walkers arrive. But you can definitely hear the motorway.Translating
Very nice place to spend night. Near to highway but you can hear it only a little bit. I can recommend.
Beautiful starting point for hikes. Absolutely quiet and deserted at night. The pitch is somewhat uneven. We spent a good night here. Thanks for providing the place. (Vagabonds) JBTranslating
After a hike, we drove to the parking lot in the evening intending to spend the night there. Ultimately we decided against it because strange people were parking there on Friday evening. One man parked his car directly next to us even though there was plenty of space. He stared at us constantly. Other men, alone in their cars, also parked briefly. We felt unwelcome. Perhaps the place is used for something else in the evening?Translating
Remote parking lot with a rubbish bin. You cannot hear the motorway if you sleep with the windows closed.Translating
The sunset was really nice too. The motorway was not bothersome at all. Unfortunately, we never got to sleep. The first car that arrived in the dark was okay. The second car, however, stopped in front of us with its lights on and kept flashing its indicator at us. It then drove away, but came back and roared across the lot with squealing tyres. Thumbs down. We will not return.Translating
Hiking parking lot on the edge of the Deister. Very quiet at night in winter. Rubbish bin available. Motorway audible. Access to the parking lot is paved. Ideal for dog owners. Please leave the place clean!Translating
